You’re talking world class stupid with this guy, Black Congressional Caucus level of idiocy. Even to the left he’s much too challenged to be entrusted with anything that could make him relatively dangerous.

Just make sure there is a good stock of Ravens at the Tower of London.

The Ravens of the Tower of London are a group of at least six captive ravens resident at the Tower of London. Their presence is traditionally believed to protect the Crown and the Tower; a superstition holds that "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it.

Some historians, including the Tower's official historian, believe the "Tower's raven mythology is likely to be a Victorian flight of fantasy".

The earliest known reference to captive ravens at the Tower is an illustration from 1883.

Historically, wild ravens were common throughout Britain, even in towns; the Tower was within their natural range. When they were exterminated from much of their traditional range, including London, they could only exist at the Tower in captivity and with official support.

The Tower ravens are tended to by the Ravenmaster of the Yeomen Warders. Local legend puts the origin of the captive raven population at the time of King Charles II (reigned 1660–85)
